There is 1 La Liga match taking place on Monday night and we take a look at the game between Celta de Vigo and Cadiz from a betting angle.
Although we are not yet half-way through the season this looms something of a relegation 6 pointer with Celta de Vigo currently sitting in 18th spot in the League on 8 points, 3 points behind Cadiz in 17th.
CELTA DE VIGO
Celta de Vigo have only won 1 of their 14 matches and have only taken 4 points from the last 10 games they have played. 1 of those points came last time out in a goalless draw away to Valencia and their last home game was a 1-1 draw to Sevilla. Overall at home this season they have played 7 matches with 3 draws and 4 defeats and they have only scored 4 goals in the 7 games while conceding 11.
CADIZ
Cadiz have won 2 of their 14 matches, but have also only taken 4 points in their last 10 games. They drew 1-1 with Mallorca on the road last time out and they have yet to win on the road this season in 7 attempts with 2 draws and 5 losses. In those 7 away games they have scored 4 goals while conceding 13.
A closer look at the goal stats of the two sides show Celta de Vigo home matches would have seen over 2.5 goal punters collect profits from just 2 of the 7 games and the same stat applies to Cadiz away matches.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Celta de Vigo won this fixture 3-0 last season and Cadiz won the reverse fixture 1-0 at home.

VERDICT
While I feel Celta de Vigo are worthy favourites I can’t bring myself to take the 8/13 for them to win the game and in fact I think the draw at 3/1 is the value play in the Outright Betting Markets.
This is all the makings of a scrappy, low scoring affair and under 2.5 goals looks nicely priced at 8/10. Given the stats of Celta de Vigo at home and Cadiz on the road.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 8/10
If I was to take a stab at the Correct Score Market I would back the ruling favourite 1-0 to the home team at 5/1.
